Smallville characters faced pivotal crossroads last night in an episode that closed with one of the most heart-wrenching scenes of the entire series. Deformed monster Lex Luthor was pulling the strings to gain revenge on key players who’ve destroyed his life: Oliver, Tess, Lana and Clark. After surviving Lex’s first toy/bomb, Oliver (aka, Green Arrow) was determined to murder the madman once and for all—despite Chloe’s horrified objections. But first, Lex schemed to separate Clark and Lana forever by forcing her to absorb enough kryptonite to kill the young Man of Steel. Lana intervened before a raging Clark could rip into Lex, who was evidently perched in a Metropolis trailer. But Oliver covertly blew it up with Lex’s own bomb, and authorities confirmed the remains were Luthor’s. Is Smallville re-writing the future, or did the villain with nine lives escape again? Later, Lana met Clark in the barn loft, and completely broke down as he staggered to kiss her one last time. It was hard to watch, and surely harder to film. Kristin Kreuk and Tom Welling were never better. The super duo professed their undying love, before Lana fled…knowing she couldn’t endure the now-forbidden relationship. Was last night the final time we’ll see Lex and Lana? In the comic book world of Smallville, don’t count on it.
